Press ‘CTRL’ ‘ALT’ ‘DEL’ keys together to open task manager… Click on the ‘Processes’ tab, click on the word CPU to sort the processes according to the CPU usage (You may need to scroll to the right to find the CPU at the top of the column)
Now, look at the name of the process which is using the highest CPU..It will be an exe name.. You will need to do the troubleshooting depending on the exe..
Once you find the process name you search in Google, along with the process name.. For example, if the process is svchost.exe, then search for "svchost.exe 100% CPU"
High CPU usage is mainly due to using older versions of browsers,browser plug ins, drivers and incompatible printer drivers.. Read this article for the basic troubleshooting steps that you will need to do for any process using 100% CPU:

High CPU issue doesn’t necessarily mean you have a virus.It could be because of so many simple reasons..
If it is svchost.exe, then the problem might be with the automatic updates..
If firefox.exe, then the problem is with flash add on or other add ins.. If plugincontainer.exe, then again it is associated with Firefox add ons..
If it is explorer.exe or windows media player, then you may need to disable Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (only applicable for Windows Vista and Windows 7)
If it is spoolsv.exe, then the problem is with your printer drivers..
The computer’s registry is one big database that has numerous files, options, and settings. These settings and options keep changing with every second of you using your PC and can lead to the damage of some of these settings. This causes errors to show up and the computer to crash. Registry cleaners http://computer-work-smooth.com software scan the computer’s errors and matches all files and settings with the applications that use them. If it identifies any file or setting to be damaged, missing, or corrupted, it provides you with an updated list of the same and also repairs these errors. Therefore, if your computer keeps crashing and need to fix blue screen of death a good registry cleaner is all you need. Your computer can also cause problems because of redundant files in its registry. Reg cleaners identify all these redundant and junk files that were left over during the uninstalling process of hardware of software and delete them. This makes sure that the "computer keeps crashing" issue is taken care of.
Maybe your computer was infected with virus, you could clean them by Anti virus software.
Second condition, too many programs load at start up will make the CPU hits 100%, so you could use an optimize software such as my favorite one. Perfect Optimizer.
Perfect Optimizer has the function of Speeding up the System and Speeding up the Start up, it will save more space for your computer and improve the computer into best performance.
Hopes help you
